Protests erupt outside Kasba Police station as 3 arrested in alleged Kolkata college gang rape
The BJP-led Haryana government has announced a new 10% reservation policy for Agniveers, specifically those recruited through the Agnipath scheme, in police and mining guard positions. This decision, unveiled on Wednesday, is seen as a strategic move ahead of the upcoming Haryana Assembly polls, amidst reports suggesting discontent among the youth regarding the Agnipath initiative, which could have impacted the BJP's performance in recent Lok Sabha elections.
The reservation aims to provide employment opportunities to Agniveers who have been part of the Agnipath scheme, an initiative associated with the armed forces recruitment. This move is expected to cater to the demands and aspirations of the Agniveer community within the state of Haryana.
